Meaning IPA (Swedish sj-sound)
Not the same h (U+0068) · ɦ (h hook) · ĥ (ĥ)

How It Works
1. Hex:U+0267 → ɧ in HTML. The browser turns it into ɧ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 615 → ɧ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \0267 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ɧ.
4. Typed: paste ɧ in a UTF-8 document for IPA or linguistic text. There is no &heng; — numeric form is required when you need an entity.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with lowercase heng with hook.
Named?
No &heng;
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0267. Use ɧ or ɧ.
h
Not plain h
Plain h is U+0068. Use ɧ only for IPA / phonetic contexts that need the heng-with-hook letter.
Look-alikes
Not h hook or hcirc
ɦ (h with hook) and ĥ (ĥ) are different characters — not interchangeable with ɧ.
Fonts
Need IPA coverage
Some fonts omit IPA Extensions. Prefer a font that includes U+0267 for reliable glyphs.
CSS
Pad the CSS escape
Prefer \0267 (four hex digits). A short \267 can swallow the next hex digit if one follows immediately.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0267 belongs in CSS strings. ɧ / ɧ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ɧ, not ɧ.
